THE NORTH RIDING PROJECT

We’d bring our forties and weed and whatever else and just write and rap and listen to beats and build for hours and hours.  RZA’s brew back then was Brass Monkey, a premixed cocktail of dark rum, vodka, and orange juice.  Ghostface and RZA were living together at the time, so they’d be eating ramen noodles and watching kung fu flicks.  For a while, those two were like me and Meth, on some Dynamic Duo shit.  RZA and Ghost would just be in that crib all day long, eatin’ Oodles of Noodles, watching kung fu movies, and making beats on a little four-track recorder.
